Are commercial fishermen covered by the Jones Act?

Video Transcription:

Yes. Commercial fisherman are crew members of the vessel navigation just like any other crew member. So commercial fisherman is just like a crew member on a yacht, or a cruise ship, or any other type of boat, and has the full benefits of the three maritime remedies: the Jones Act, unseaworthiness, and maintenance and cure.
